Our Puffy Little Girl

So we're not exactly sure why, but Ella's face - especially right around her eyes - is really swollen right now. When she woke up this morning, her left eye was just about swollen shut. She definitely looks quite a bit different than she did a few days ago.

Here's a picture I took today - you can see the left side of her head here. I realized that I had not posted a good picture of this side yet. And this is where all of the "pieces" came together - so it's kind of interesting to see. You can also see her puffy little face. Hopefully the swelling goes down soon.


Here's another picture from today. The quality isn't the best (flash setting wasn't right and Dave's feet in the background - oh well!), but I wanted to show that, even with what she's been through, and how tired she is, she's still has a big smile on her face, and joy in her heart - and that makes us smile. (: She also has this sweet little voice right now. It's just so gentle and soft. Makes you willing to do anything she asks of you, that's for sure. (:

I'm sure the swelling will go down. I think the surgery just puts so much stress on the body (especially that little body). Bless that smiley little girl.

If that smile doesn't melt one's heart... those eyes surely will!! Thanks for the updates...
